Not A Partnership

Why We Keep Getting Marriage Wrong & How We Can Get It Right

It may be true that divorce rates are declining, but if one were to ask why, well, the answer is simple: fewer people want a marriage altogether. As society has looked inward towards self-centeredness as the ultimate aim, rather than outward and towards the other, marriage’s key pillar – giving – has been the biggest casualty. Clearly, it is time to re-define what a healthy marriage is, and how we can get one, not only reviving the casualty, but transforming the relationship into the center of our well-being, security and happiness.

​

Looking through their unique lens, the authors give the reader an in depth definition of what marriage is – and what it is not – by combining some of the world's oldest wisdom with 21st century research and insight.
